Entanglement and Bell States in Superconducting Flux Qubits
arXiv:cond-mat/0606034 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.75.134514
Abstract
We theoretically study macroscopic quantum entanglement in two superconducting flux qubits. To manipulate the state of two flux qubits, a Josephson junction is introduced in the connecting loop coupling the qubits. Increasing the coupling energy of the Josephson junction makes it possible to achieve relatively strong coupling between the qubits, causing two-qubit tunneling processes even dominant over the single-qubit tunneling process in the states of two qubits. It is shown that due to the two-qubit tunneling processes both the ground state and excited state of the coupled flux qubits can be a Bell type state, maximally entangled. The parameter regimes for the Bell states are discussed in terms of magnetic flux and Josephson coupling energies.
